rutorrent erasedata plugin fails to delete data if system user and htdigest user are different about rutorrent HOT 6 CLOSED

1) You have an incorrect configuration. ruTorrent doesn't operate with a 
'system user' at all. Replace all names in the ruTorrent configuration files 
(and line of plugin initialization in the .rtorrent.rc) from 'system' to 
'htdigest' name.
2) Project is moved to the github. Use right place for your issues, please.

Rutorrent may not use a system user but rtorrent does and your erasedata plugin 
is attempting to use that username mate - the name of the user running 
rtorrent. Nowhere in my rutorrent config files is the <system user> name found 
but it is still attempting to use it - hence having to make a symlink of the 
name <system user> to the htdigest user configured in rtorrent.
Then again what the f would i know i have only been using *nix for 25 years.
I am arthritic so you can use the info or pretend it doesnt exist. Not going 
through the pain of typing it again.

Yet once. ruTorrent doesn't operate with a rtorrent user at all. It even 
doesn't know his name. 
CHECK PLUGIN INITIALIZATON LINE IN THE .rtorrent.rc. 
Are you understand my words?

Ah - its an error in that and other tutorials - i got you.
In section 4.6 of that tut (tho it says do it by hand in nano) I used %s/<user 
name>/<htdigest user>/g on the .rtorrent.rc to replace all instances of <user 
name> with <system user>
but the line 

execute = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php /var/www/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php <user 
name> &}
should be 
execute = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php /var/www/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php <WEB User 
Name> &}

In the parlance of that tutorial.

So the fix is to edit .rtorrent.rc and change that final line, the line that 
initialises the plugins, from <system user> to <htdigest user>.

Awesome - hopefully now googling rutorrent does not delete data or similar will 
bring this up - which was the whole point of doing this :) Sorry for the 
misunderstanding i was having an SOB of a day.

Thank you so very very much for getting to the bottom of this, hopefully some 
other people will benefit from the fix to what seems to be a pretty common 
error :)
Hopefully someone who is a member of that site will tell them to fix the 
rotorrent tuts lol

Oh yeah, and i posted here because your forum says to :)

Kudos on updating the thread but your wording there is very unclear, tho i 
understand english is not your first language. I mean no disrespect but might I 
suggest:

The project has been moved from the google code to github.
Please use the following link for any bug or issue reports, rather than the 
(very old) google link above.
